In this video, we’ll take a look at why some people struggle with weight loss on the keto diet or experience a keto weight loss plateau.
To do the keto diet correctly, you must reduce your carb intake to 50 grams or less per day, especially if you’re working towards a goal such as weight loss, reducing chronic illness, increasing energy, or improving your health.
Avoid these 13 common keto diet mistakes!
1. Don’t do dirty keto, a low-carb diet that doesn’t eliminate unhealthy ingredients.
2. Poor sleep increases blood sugar values to those of a prediabetic. It also increases cortisol levels, inhibits the release of growth hormone, and reduces fat burning.
3. Stress raises cortisol levels, which blocks the benefits of keto.
4. Overtraining can stifle weight loss!
5. Gallbladder and liver health are vital for fat breakdown and absorption, and critical for proper thyroid function. You won’t lose weight on keto until you address these issues first.
6. Your thyroid is responsible for metabolism and energy. Focus on iodine, selenium, and zinc intake for a healthy thyroid.
7. Weight loss on keto starts with a healthy gut. Try L. reuteri yogurt to restore gut health and lose weight.
8. Not getting enough sun is one of the most common keto weight loss problems. Vitamin D protects you from insulin resistance, and sunlight increases melatonin and serotonin.
9. The more atrophy you have, the less keto will work for weight loss.
10. Make sure you have realistic expectations and an accurate definition of normal. After the initial water weight loss when first starting keto, weight loss will vary from person to person.
11. Pair the keto diet with intermittent fasting. Eliminate snacking and only eat when you’re hungry.
12. Avoid cheat day!
13. Lower your dietary fat intake if you’re struggling to lose weight on keto.
You may have heard rumors that the keto diet is dangerous, but this simply isn’t true and is often based on poor research.
Some foods labeled as “zero sugar” still contain carbs. Check labels and make sure your keto weight loss plateau isn’t caused by hidden sugar consumption!
